What car am I?

[Drummer Dude Go]

Yep, this is the Jaguar XJ220, but its not the original model. It is in fact the XJ220 TWR. Modified by Tom Walkinshaw Racing this car is absolute missile. With a twin-turbo V6 it produced 680bhp and 714nm of torque! It weiged just over a tonne and could catapult from 0-100km/h in 3.3 seconds. Top speed was nearly 370km/h. Not bad for a car built in 1994! :D
Sweet car! Awesome videos of that amphibious Fiat too, HotWireD! Here's a compact car that may or may not be easy: (It's kinda small, cuz it wouldnt put it on here when I enlarged it, sorry.)

My first impression is the Daihatsu Terios, but I cannot be sure without a look at the front.

[Drummer Dude Go]

Ausie, you are correct! Time for you to post a cool car!

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Ausie, you are correct! Time for you to post a cool car!

Your not implying that the Terrios is 'cool' are you? :mad:

I have a few good cars in mind but it shall have to wait until I get home tonight. :D

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Alright. Until I can find the name of the car I wanted to post, here a rather nice looking supercar:

http://www.rtl.de/images/fotos/auto/toyota_alessandro_volta_r e_.jpg

[Drummer Dude Go]

Looks like an odd cross between a Mazda and an Acura NSX. Still searching!

[Aussie3rddayfan]

You are on the right track. It isn't a Mazda or Acura but it IS from Japan... :cool:

[Aussie3rddayfan]

I shall give you another hint. It's a concept car....

[Aussie3rddayfan]

...and the name of the car was inspired by an Italian physicist who is famous for his development of the electric battery. It was built in conjuction with Italian design company Italdesign Giugiaro and was unveiled at the 2004 Geneva Motor Show.

The car was built on a carbon fiber chassis and features a four wheel drive hybrid powertrain of the Lexus RX 400h which combines a 3.3-litre V6 gasoline engine with two electric engines. The gasoline engine is fitted behind the rear axle and there are additional two electrically powered engines, one on each axle. The combination develops a maximum output of 300 kW (408 bhp), which enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.03 seconds and reach the top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). The car seats three people abreast and features drive-by-wire controls.

Aussie, I have figured it out! It is the Toyota Alessandro Volta Concept Car!
Here's a real off-roader:
Hints: It's German, and has been used heavily by the German army since the 1950's

Well its a Merc for one thing. When I have a chance I will Google it becasue I don't know off the top of my head.

[Drummer Dude Go]

Yes it is a Mercedes, but this one is very spartan, as it's main focus is towing and off roading, not luxury.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Ah, it's the Mercedes-Benz Unimog. My dad use to work for Mercedes so I guess I had a bit of a head start. :D

I wil delegate my turn to Mr Hotwired since he has not had a turn in a while.

Yes, I agree, let Mr. H. W. post something interesting from the automotive world.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

What did he do at MB?

Yes, I agree, let Mr. H. W. post something interesting from the automotive world.

It was a while ago. I would have been in primary school at the time. I believe he worked in the parts department. Sometimes he brought home some rather nice, shiny new Mercedes' to use for a while. If I remember correctly we once went on holiday to Canberra in a big red C-class; or maybe it was an S-class. One of the perks for working for one of the greatest car manufacturers in the world!

And yes, please post a challenging pic Hotwire! :D

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Since Hotwire does not seem to be around at the moment I will post a quick car:

A Renault? Uh, no. It most certainly is not. If you REALLY want me to post a hard one then I will. But don't say I didn't warn you..

Shall I?

A Renault? Uh, no. It most certainly is not. If you REALLY want me to post a hard one then I will. But don't say I didn't warn you..

Shall I?
Sorry to burst your bubble, Aussie, but yes, the F-1 Car is a Renault. I have the proof! See for yourself:

Well, I took your picture, and loaded it onto my computer, and zoomed in on the nose of the car, so you could more clearly see the word "Renalult" at the tip of the nose, right under the word "elf" You can zoom in for yourself, and clearly see that it is indeed a Renault F-1 car.

As for you posting a harder car, I say bring it on, Aussie!:)

Most Formula One manufacturer's both past and present have their engines provided by another company. For example, the McLaren F1 team has a Mercedes engine, the Red Bull team has a Ferrari engine in it and Williams has a Cosworth engine - and next year it will have a Toyota engine. Only Ferrari, Toyota, Honda and Renault curently make their own engines as well as making the car itself. These teams are called factory teams.

The upshot of it all is that this car IS NOT A RENAULT!!! It has a Renault engine - hence the advertisement badge - but the car is made by another car manufacturer. :D

When you work this car out I will find the hardest one I have posted yet. :eek:

That's pretty good; you can type while sleeping! What are you doing for your next trick? :p

*Hums circus music*

Well, is the car a Ford, or a Chevy?

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Well, is the car a Ford, or a Chevy?

No and No. Assess it's age........and the guy who's driving the car. He's regarded by many as the greatest of all time.....................

[Drummer Dude Go]

Well, if he is the greatest of all time, then I guess he would be Michael Shummaccer (Spelling?). Sorry, I'm really not a F-1 or Indy fan, so I really have no clue. Just give me the answer and post a different non-race car, please.

No, it is not Schumacher. Michael may have the most wins, poles, lap records and championships but he not necassarily regarded as the best in raw speed. That honour goes to a man from Brazil named Ayrton Senna. He drove for several teams during the eigthies to mid nineties. His career was sadly cut short in a horrific accident at the Imola Circuit in San Marino in 1994. The steering arm on his car broke and he no way to avoid carrering into a tyre barrier head-on at over 200km/h. That same weekend, another driver by the name of Roland Ratzenberger was also killed. The weekend is regarded as one of the blakest days in the sports history. Today, the circuit has been changed and a large chicane now stands where Senna left the track (Turn One). The differnce is very noticable:

AFTER

Anyway, after the F1 histroy lesson (can you tell I love it!) the car I posted was a 1986 JPS Lotus F1 car driven Ayrton Senna. As I noted earlier, the car had a Renault engine, but the car itself and all its mechanicles were of lotus origin. The black and gold design was very distinctive for that time.

As for a new car, I have some real tricky models of yesteryear lined-up. My dad has a rather nice collection of small model cars (extremely detailed and well made) which I have too chose from so i will post one when I get home tonight. :D

BTW, as a car fan its your duty to watch and love the F1's! The most recent race (in Hungary) was one of THE best and most exciting races I have ever seen. It rained; so there was lots of sliding, crashing, and contemplating the correct or incorrect tyre choices as it rained, then didn't, then did, the dried out. It is the best form of motor racing in the world - hands down - totally riveting TV!

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Google does not seem to have a proper decent sized photo of this very old car. What is it:

Thanks for the "History Lesson" on F-1, it was interesting! However, here in the States, they dont show much F-1 or Indy type races, unfortunately. Unless you get expensive sattelite TV, but we cant afford what it costs per month (Anywhere from $100-$200 per month), so I cant see any F-1 races. I watch NASCAR racess, cuz that's the only kinda racing I can get with basic cable. In case ya dont know what NASCAR is, it was formed in the 1940's in Daytona Beach, Florida, by local dirt track racers, who took cars straight of the showroom floor, and raced at an annual race on the sands of the beach at Daytona Beach, Florida. The group choose the name NASCAR, for National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. The president of the group, Bill France Sr., later built a paved oval track about 2.5 miles in length, which is now known as Daytona International Speedway, and is used for NASCAR, as well as the 24-Hours of Daytona LeMans race. NASCAR has been the #2 most popular sport in the U.S. for several years now, behind football. Anyway, please post another car soon, and thanks for the cool info on the history of F-1!

[HotWireD]

I think they are Ferraris - I will check when I get home from work.

[HotWireD]

Disregard that former post, I am lost (that was the first post of the thread (thought it looked familiar)). I will check later when I get home on that last car.

Talking about beautiful cars I have had a VERY interesting few days driving on the road. I have a sharp-eye for exotic cars on the road. Just yesterday I spooted a Lotus Elise, not one but two current model 997 Porsche 991's and a Ferrari 355 GTS. Last Sunday I spotted a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 and earlier in the week I managed to merge in front of a brand-spanking new, bright red Ferrari F430 Spyder. I followed behind me for nearly 25 km and then I ver kindly moved over so I could gawk at it from the back for a while. I can tell you that I was definately looking in my rear-vision mirror more than normal! Ferrari's are even more stunning in real-life and absolutely made my day! :D :D :D

Unfortunately he did not pull up beside me at the lights; I could have taken him.....

[Aussie3rddayfan]

BTW Hotwire, youa re entitled to post a car. I delegated my turn to you but you while you were away. The current car I have posted is just a filler. Feel free to post. That way all three of us will have cars to guess. :D :cool:

[Drummer Dude Go]

Aussie, your car is the same beutifully fast car that you started this lovely game with: The Ferrarri F430. I personally like the Spyder the best.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

I had not actually intended the pic of the F430 to be a car to guess. It was simply there to illustrate how beautiful the car really is. Have a go trying to guess the old car I posted above.

HINT: it was built in the same year the WWI started.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

This car was built in 1914.

BTW, a drum roll please for post 1000! Yay!!!! :D :D :D It's been a long time coming but it is great to a four-digit number! How fitting that it should be in a car thread.

[SHO_off422]

caddys look somewhat similar to that car, but i don't think that is it...:confused:

[Aussie3rddayfan]

caddys look somewhat similar to that car, but i don't think that is it...:confused:

A Cadillac you mean? If so, no, it's not a Cadillac. :D

[SHO_off422]

yeps. that's what i meant...and dang...lol

[HotWireD]

I am back and raring to go.... Mmmm green car, fits in a shoebox...

[HotWireD]

Ha, it comes in an ambulance model too, The Great War (first world war) I suppose they converted them ...

Now I just have to find out what it is, I know it is a Vauxhall and 1912 to 1918 time (from the war time or just before). Give me ten more minutes lol.

[HotWireD]

It is a Vauxhall army staff car... still tightening the search...

Edit:
1914
E-Type 30/98 comes second in Russian Grand Prix in May. GP Vauxhalls compete in Isle of Man TT race and French Grand Prix.
Murray Aunger and F. Beasely set Melbourne Adelaide record of 14 hours and 54 minutes 34 seconds for a distance of 579 miles, driving a Prince Henry Vauxhall. (Royal Auto Club of Australia)

My that thing was big - all twenty horse power!

(Once I gathered it was a staff car, it was not difficult to hunt it down - there are loads of sites about the Great War).

Am I right? (Of to find a car to challenge the mighty brains of the 'Third Day Motor Car Enthusiasts Club'.

[HotWireD]

This is not a Vauxhall!
Edit: and it is not 92 years old. :)

Edit: Edit:
Technical Data:
engine: V8, 3,5-liter, 355hp
length: 513cm
width: 201cm
height: 127cm

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Hmmm; well it's definately American, which means it is most likely a Cadillac, Buick or a Chevvy from the late 50's. Away I go to search...:D

[HotWireD]

lol - that 'grinning' smiley makes me think that you already know what car it is and you are just pretending it is a hard one so you do not answer it in seconds, thus making me feel better about the fact that you folk normally identify them before my screen refreshes lol :D j/k

[Aussie3rddayfan]

No, I don't actually know what it is. Not yet anyway.

[SHO_off422]

the closest thing i have found is a 59 cadillac cadster...

and it also resembles the 2000 buick blackhawk concept

[Drummer Dude Go]

The front facia resembles an old Chrysler to me, but the rest of the car looks like either a Caddy or a Buick from that era. Strange car. Still looking!

[Aussie3rddayfan]

It's late fifties or early sixties; that much I am sure about. Plus the fact that it's terribly impractical, would weigh about the same as the Empire State Building and handle like at 15ft trolley with one wheel missing.

[HotWireD]

It is a Buick, from 1950, anyone want to chance a name?

The name would (if you had never seen it) inspire you to think of a vehicle that could cut through the air like a 'blade'.

[SHO_off422]

1950 buick LeSabre

[SHO_off422]

so i guess now i post a pic of a car?:confused:
here ya go!:D

Hey Sho off, give us some clues on this sedan. Is it American, European, what?

[SHO_off422]

from japan- either a I4 or I6 motor
came in coupe, sedan, or wagon

[Aussie3rddayfan]

It's a Nissan 240K.

I will make sure this one is a little easier than the last.

http://news.caradisiac.com/IMG/jpg/Exige_GT3_5.jpg

[Drummer Dude Go]

That Nissan was hard, as it looked just like every squarish economy car from the 1970s! Aussie, your car is a Lotus Elise Exige, very cool car indeed! I will give my turn to the first person to get on and post a new car,b/c I dont have time to find a car and post it, and I wont be on here all weekend-too much work to do.:(

[SHO_off422]

Elise Exige?! I am afraid there is no such car my friend. Have another go.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Doh! Alrighty then.

[SHO_off422]

Doh! Alrighty then.
you were very close though. are you still looking or should i tell you? i'll just tell ya and we'll get on with this haha. it's a nissan skyline c110

[Aussie3rddayfan]

you were very close though. are you still looking or should i tell you? i'll just tell ya and we'll get on with this haha. it's a nissan skyline c110

So it is. Can you identify my car?

[Drummer Dude Go]

Lotus Exige?! I am afraid there is no such car my friend. Have another go.
Yes, there is, it is the sportier version of the Elise, designed to be raced on a track. Here is a pic:

[Drummer Dude Go]

Yes, there is, it is the sportier version of the Elise, designed to be raced on a track. Here is a pic:
Also, speaking of the Exige, here is an interesting article about a modified Exige that can run on different types of fuel, and is also the fastest Lotus ever.
Lotus 265E: The world's fastest Ethonol car?: (http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/08/23/lotus-exige-265e-the-worlds-fastest-ethanol-car/)

Anyway, back to the game. Here is my car:
Hint 1: It is British. I will give another hint later.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

My car WAS an Exige but it wasn't the standard version...

And I am thinking your car is a Riley. Either the RM or RMB from the early fifties.

HINT: my car has an supercharged 1.8 litre inline-4 cyclinder engine, produces 285 hp @ 7800 rpm and has the rather nice bhp/litre figure of 158 bhp per liter. All in 1653 lbs (which is a tad under 750kg)! Wow!

Well, is your car the Lemans race version of the Exige, b/c that's what it looks like?

[Aussie3rddayfan]

My car is the Lotus Exige GT3.

http://www.seriouswheels.com/top-2006-Lotus-Sport-Exige-GT3.htm

Was I correct about your car?

[Drummer Dude Go]

That Lotus Exige GT3 is awesome! And no, my car, while being very beautifull, is not a Riley.
Hint 1: It is British made.
Hint 2: It was produced in 1949 only.
Hint 3: Part of the model name is "Drophead"

Any more hints will give it away. Have fun with this challenge, Aussie, HotWireD and SHO-off!

[HotWireD]

Is it an Alvis TA 14 Drophead 1949 something-or-other?

[Drummer Dude Go]

Is it an Alvis TA 14 Drophead 1949 something-or-other?
Nope, try again.
Last Hint: This beautifull car was made by a British maker that has been owned by Ford Motor Company since the early 1990's, and they specialize in sports cars. (If nobody can get it after this hint, I will just tell you what make/model it is!)

[HotWireD]

Here's another piccie...

ah, I can see it is different - still looking...

[HotWireD]

Nope, try again.

That clue did it! :)


Aston Martin Lagonda coupe 1949 drophead, I must say it is the nicest looking aston martin I have ever seen.

[Drummer Dude Go]

Sweet car. It may be the same make/model of my car, since it looks very similar, but not 100% sure though. I will just tell you what it is: A 1949 Lagonda Aston Martin Drophead Coupe (http://lagonda.tripod.com/) (Looks like a convertible to me, though, so why do they call it a coupe?:confused: ) Hard, huh? It is now HotWireD's turn to post.

[Drummer Dude Go]

That clue did it! :)


Aston Martin Lagonda coupe 1949 drophead, I must say it is the nicest looking aston martin I have ever seen.
I figured it would do the trick, lol! You're correct, and it is now your turn to post! Give us one that's not quite that much of a challenge, though. Something newer perhaps?

[HotWireD]

Okee dokee - I have masked the car badge on the radiator grill ;)

You asked for 'new' - this is new for 2007!

[Drummer Dude Go]

One of my fave new cars-the fast, cheap Saturn Sky. I especially like the upcoming 260 HP Redline version! If only I had $30K...
OK, here's my car, er, truck...

[Aussie3rddayfan]

That clue did it! :)


Aston Martin Lagonda coupe 1949 drophead, I must say it is the nicest looking aston martin I have ever seen.

The DB9 and older DB6 Zagato posted previously are my picks. Theye are truly stunning cars to behold.

If you like cars don't watch this video.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OhZAD5KZHs

[Drummer Dude Go]

Sweet videos, Aussie! I search YouTube occasionally for cool videos, but havent seen thoose yet! Awesome cars!
Try to guess what make/model/year this old beat up truck is:

[Aussie3rddayfan]

I haven't the slightest clue - except for the fact that it's probably a yankee ute (left-hand drive, US plate, US looks). :confused:

I will search...

[Drummer Dude Go]

Hint: It is an American made truck from the 1950's.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Is it by any chance the 1958 Chevy Apache?

A proper one looks like this I believe:

Cool, it has my state's flag (Arizona) on the front. Makes sense since the Apaches are a Native American tribe here in Arizona.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Nope. It's Aussie.

[Drummer Dude Go]

I have no idea what your compact car is, although it has to be from the 1970's, by the looks of it. Still looking.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

You are right; it is a 70's car. Very popular in that era in fact; and legendary today. They have recently made a new one too...

[HotWireD]

Next one:

http://www.uniquecarsandparts.co m.au/images/car_info/holden_hq_monaro_2.jpg

I think it came in lime green too - to keep the car thieves away??;)

(It is an Holden - not sure what year or model yet... still looking).

[Drummer Dude Go]

Aussie, your car is the 1970s Holden Monaro GTS.

Guess this car (Easy!):

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Aussie, your car is the 1970s Holden Monaro GTS.

Lambo Miura.

And yes, my car is the very nice Holden Monaro GTS.

I delegate my turn to HotWireD. :D

[HotWireD]

I delegate my turn to HotWireD. :D

This car parks outside my office sometimes...

[HotWireD]

...and this one does not, has a different colour scheme and is viewed from a slightly different angle.
Comparing the 1966 Amazon with the ****** ** police car he drives today, Woodward says: “The Amazon was a bit slow, so the engines were souped up a little, which gave the car a top speed of 112 mph — fast for that era.

“But today’s ********* police cars can carry a full load of equipment — 12 traffic cones, six Police Accident signs, first aid kit and major incident box — without comprising performance or handling.”

He adds: “The Amazon’s seats are remarkably comfortable — they would put some modern car seats to shame.”

Other forces throughout the UK often preserve faithful old vehicles, and you’ll find them displayed in police museums up and down the country

Col: I didn't know you had an original Monaro. :) Great car, with some grunt. Very popular here.


My previous next door neighbour owned a red one, and painted Monaros for people in the Holden Monaro club. If they got lost, they'd land at my door.

I like the new Monaros, too.

Col: It must be time for us to have coffee again. Just give me your car keys and I'll drive. There must be a Gloria Jean's in Canberra. :p

In light of recent events:

I am assuming that the race car is one of Peter Brock's racecars, since you said "In light of recent events?" I am not certian, since I am unable to watch Australian racing here in the U.S. It is late, and I have no time to post a car, so I give my turn to HotWireD.

[NotMyOwn]

This car parks outside my office sometimes...

All I know about this car is that it has a Jetstream lightbar on top from Federal Signal Corp.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

All I know about this car is that it has a Jetstream lightbar on top from Federal Signal Corp.

I'll take your word for it. :cool: Drummer is on the right track though. It was a car driven by the late Peter Brock in the era when he was unstoppable. :D

[HotWireD]

Okee-dokee....

This is on the edge of being acceptable - if noone can guess it i will chose another when I get home from work.

I see these driving around on the roads but it is more common on race tracks - the owners love to race them.

Colin: Is it the Holden Torana L34?

I'm looking at this page, as I'm assuming the car is one of the Bathurst 1000 winning cars.

Yep! It is indeed a Torana L34. One of the best cars ever made in Australia. Sandie gets to post a car.

Hotwired's car is British I am guessing but looks as if it could be a kit car?

I checked and it is :( - I have seen these for years and thought they were a production manufacturer - Ginetta

This next pic is not guess - I just liked it (I want one) and thought I would share :cool:

[Aussie3rddayfan]

It looks like the Ginetta R33 then. Sandie's turn. :D

Hey guys, we have an automotive spy photographer among us boardies! The Unkown Gomer has snapped a spy shot of the Smart mini-car, being tested in the U.S, for a 2008 release here in the States! See THIS THREAD! (http://www.thirdday.com/boards/showthread.php?p=1517883# post1517883)

The Smart cars are very safe, despite thier small size! Here's a video (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=410426116 2559881379&q=Smart+crashes) of a Smart being crashed against a concrete wall at 70 MPH! It is amazing how the cabin stays intact!

[Aussie3rddayfan]

That is truly amazing at that kind of speed. For a car that size, it really should have disintegrated like crumpled paper. The guy in the video is called Tiff. He is an ex-racing driver who worked on Top Gear in the first few seasons.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Well, since no one has posted a car I shall:

http://www.racingsportscars.com/photo/1969/Le_Mans-1969-06-15-006.jpg

I am thinking to keep this thread fresh we could modify the game a bit. Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe posting only part of the car. For example the spoiler, the air intake, the rear wing. The cars featured would need to be a bit more obvious but it could work. An example would be:

The red rear end is a Ferrarrri F430, or Enzo. (Thier back ends look identical) The blue/orange car is the Ford GT supercar. Awesome car! I've no time to post right now (I'm supposed to be doing school work, lol!), so I will let HotWierD post!

I was joking. I had homework at school, I was just never crash hot about doing it. I'd much rather go outside and kick a ball. I was actually reasonably good at doing it though - most of the time. I work hard at uni though.

Your SUV is the Suzuki Sumari, I think. If I am correct, here is my car:

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Sorry for not jumping in sooner; I have been rather busy lately.

Anyway, this car seems to be fairly recent and by the design I would say American. Am I on the right track? And can you post another pic. It sought of looks like a 4WD but I cannot quite tell.

[Drummer Dude Go]

This is my car, and yes, it is American, not British or German, as it appears to be.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Got anything bigger?

[Drummer Dude Go]

Here's different, larger pics, just saved under the same file names, but they are much larger. I would've also posted a pic of the back end, but it clearly shows the make and model names, so I didnt post that pic.

Also, please respond to my post in the "Battle of the Auto Manufacturers" thread, whenever you have time.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Hmmm, this one is not known to me. American cars are my Achilles heel. Is the manufacturer one from the list below?

Cadillac
Buick
Scion
Saturn
Chevrelot
Daimler Cyrsler
Ford
Pontiac
GM
Lincoln
Mercury
Dodge

These are the only ones I know.

[Drummer Dude Go]

No, it is not any of thoose. This maker is a botique manufacturer that was started by former Aston Martin head designer, Henrik Fisker. The car is the Fisker Toromanto. Everything except the body is the underpinnings and mechanicals from a Mercedes Benz SL63 AMG, but the body is designed by Henrik Fisker himself. They also have another car based off of the BMW M6 Coupe. Fisker's cars are very beautifull, luxurious and fast.
Aussie, it is your turn to post a car.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Fisker? Never heard of it. Probably a good thing though. The last American car with German parts was a heap of rubbish. :rolleyes:

Your silver car appears to be an old American car of some sort. It looks like a 1960's, early 1970's economy car. Give me some clues, if you could. Also. please respond to my post in the Battle of the Auto Manufacuters (http://www.thirdday.com/boards/showthread.php?t=90172) thread.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

A clue? OK.

Henry.

[Drummer Dude Go]

Is it a Ford Falcon coupe?

[Musicdude]

Ford Maverick.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

No and No.

It IS a Ford though...

[Drummer Dude Go]

Is it some prototype for the Mustang, or a different version of the Mustang?

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Nope. But you ARE on the right track with the Mustang. Sought of. This car was the European equivalent of the Mustang and was built from 1969-1987. Nearly 1.9 million were made. Engines varied over time from a 1.3 litre 4-cyclinder in the cars early days to a 3.0 litre V6 by the time production ceased. It was the Grand Tourer for the everyday man.

http://www.fordcapri.sk/0007.jpg

[Drummer Dude Go]

Is it the Capri? That is the only other sporty coupe from Ford I could find. If that is not correct, just tell me, cuz I am tired of looking all over the Net.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

Yep, it is the Ford Capri. Nice work! :D :cool: :)

You like giving me the small, insignificant American car-makers don't you? :p

Is it any of these?

Fisker, Tesla Motors, Saturn?

I doubt it. My brief search found diddly-squat. Clues please! :confused:

[Drummer Dude Go]

You give me tough cars, so I figured I would return the favor, lol! Ok, here's a big clue: Believe it or not, it's actually a Mercury, made in the late 80's-early 90's, and I believe it was only sold in the United States. It was basically a Mazda MX-5 type car, small 4 cylinder, low weight, roadster etc. It was based on the small Mustang platform that was used from the 1970's untill the early 1990's. Try to guess the model. Here's more pics:

[Drummer Dude Go]

My car was hard, probably becasue of it's rarity. It is the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri. It was intended as a Mazda Miata competitor, and was built in Australia. Here is allot more info on this rare little car:

I wouldn't mind one of these. Radical but practical design meets Mercedes V12. Not too hard:

Aussie, your car is the beautifully fast Pagini Zonda. I love that car!
My vehicle is an American compact pickup truck that has had the same bland body styling for 15 years running.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

My car was the Pagani Zonda F. This one is a differnt - and more recent- model to the original C12 Zonda.

As for your car you will have to help me out. American cars are my weak point.

Actually, I'm not nearly as good as Aussie is at identifying old cars. I simply Googled images on the Net for an old German car manufactured by a maker who's name will remain a mystery, so that Aussie cant get it. Anyway, whoever correctly guesses the car pictured gets the honor of posting the next car pic.
BTW: I root for Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, the 2006 NASCAR Nextell Cup Champ!!!! Who do you root for, Paint?

Dale Jr is my fave. (I wish he had a different sponsor so I could actually buy and wear/use his stuff.) Anyways, he's my fave.
I also like Truex Jr., Harvick, Stewart, Johnson, Kahne, Biffle...well.......I could go on! I guess I could say that since Jr's my fave, they all tie for 2nd place.....but the Busch bro's are my least fave.
As for Busch...Kenny Wallace is my fave.

Yeah, my dad is a Jr. fan bigtime (Makes for an interesting in house rivalry every time we watch a race together, lol! My mom couldn't care less about NASCAR.), but he doesnt buy any of Jr.'s stuff, for the same reason as you. I have a Jeff Gordon T-shirt and a Jimmie Johnson T-shirt, but that's about it. My dad and I have also had the major blessing of getting tickets to Talledega 3 times in the past 4 years, becasue DuPont is one of the suppliers to Mead (My dad works at the Mead paper mill in Cottonton, Al.), and once every year, they gave some employees (My dad included) free tickets to whatever race they wanted. Sadly, the company's policies changed last year, adn the employees can no longer get freebees, so I dont think my dad and I will ever get to go to a NASCAR race again.:( Each ticket was about $120, so the only reason we got to go at all was because the tickets were free.

Have you guessed the car yet? It's hard, isnt it?

Cool beans! I've never been to one. That's too bad they don't give the tickets anymore. My mom likes Ward Burton. :p My dad's fave was Dale Sr., but now he likes several different ones.

Is Aussie ever going to try to guess this old Australlian-made car?

[Aussie3rddayfan]

OK, while I am searching I will tell you what I already know of this car. 1. You tell me its German but Australian made? 2. Its a coupe 3. It probably has a 4-cylinder in it and is RWD. 4. It was made around the 70's 5. And it's not a Torana or a Gemini.

EDIT: I am thinking it is the Datsun 180B SSS 610 Series?

2. Yes, it's a coupe. (DUH!):D
3. Correct, it is 4-Cylinder and RWD
4. It was made in the 1970's

It is actually an Opel Try to guess the model. (Opels are German made, aren't they? I dont know very much about european cars that they dont sell here in the U.S.)

Aussie, your car, is the wickedly powerfull and good-looking Holden VE SS Commodore (That's the only name I have seen, I may have gotten the trim level wrong.) There is actually much speculation right now in the U. S. over whether or not GM will import this car to America and sell it as the next Pontiac Grand Prix, or maybe even the next Chevrolet Impala.

Yeah, I know which car it is, just got the name slightly wrong, b/c different car mags/websites call it different things, such as Commodore SS, or Commodore VE SS, etc, so I didnt know what the official full name of the car was, but whatever it's called, it's certianly a beautifull and fast car! If only GM (GM owns the Opel brand) and Ford's cool foriegn cars were imported to the U.S!

Nicely done.

Your car is obviously a coupe. From the looks of it, it seems to have been made in Asia - probably Japan - during the 1980's. It has some similarities the the Honda Accord of the early 1980's. It could be any of Japenese manufacturers though. I would need to see the front and rear to make an educated guess.

The Civic was mainly, but not totally, limited to the hatchback. That said, an old Civic would share some similarities to other 80's model Honda's.

HINT: It is an old Honda coupe, made sometime in the 1980's.

Gee, I'd forgotten about this thread. Are you sure it's the Prelude.

[Whiteheart]

Absolutely. I have seen no less than 5 of these things belting around Canberra over the last week. FUnny what you notice when you are looking for something. The boot (trunk) clearly said "Prelude" :)

Your turn then. Post away my friend. :D
